Plus Size Fashion Show and Sale runs September 22-25 in Cedar Mill

Curvy Chic Closet, the largest plus size consignment event in North America, encores their 4-day, semi-annual Consignment Sales Event. This event allows curvy women to indulge in gently-used clothing selection of outfits and accessories. Shoppers will also be able to shop from more than 22 participating vendors and visit FabUplus Magazine from Canada. FabUplus is set to change the way that media represents women with curves as a weight neutral, body positive, health fitness and lifestyle magazine.
Curvy Chic Closet's event will be located at 12505 NW Cornell Road.

The show is directed by plus size model Teka Marie who has directed the past two Curvy Chic Closet fashion shows. Teka is a strong believer in claiming your fashion freedom and embracing the body positive movement. This video highlights her recent work:

Our featured host will be Belinda Carroll, the Portland-based plus size comedian, writer, and actress who has been seen in Portlandia (where she got to work with kd lang and Jason Sudeikis), MTV, NBC's Grimm, and has been heard on XM Sirius radio. She has written for Huffington Post, Portland Mercury, PQ Monthly, Curve, and Cracked.com. As a stand-up comedian, Belinda has performed with people like Julie Goldman, ANT, Dwight Slade, Laurie Kilmartin and Nato Green and performed in Bridgetown Comedy Festival, and San Francisco International Comedy Competition.

Curvy Chic Closet's founder, Becky Jarvis, states "I started Curvy Chic Closet after realizing that there were no plus size consignment events to help women buy beautiful gently used plus size clothing. 65% of American women wear a size 14 and above, yet we are left behind in the fashion industry at traditional brick and mortar stores. I am able to offer an amazing shopping opportunity under one roof with over 20,000 consigned items (clothing, shoes, jewelry, purses, and accessories) for the plus size consumer. Each year, our fashion show continues to grow. We are proud of the women that were casted for the fall event and they're empowering beautiful curvy women to be role models!"

Another charity benefiting from Curvy Chic Closet's event is Gung Ho Ministries, a women's resale shop serving homeless veterans and the needy. In the past four years, Curvy Chic Closet's consigners have donated approximately 10,000 pounds of goods to Gung Ho Ministries, helping countless women to dress for success and improve their lives and circumstances.

Festivities kick off with a $5 pre-sale event on Thursday, September 22 from 11 AM to 2 PM. Following this, all attendees may shop on Thursday, September 22nd from 2 PM to 8 PM, Friday, September 23rd from 10 AM to 9 PM, Saturday, September 24th from 10 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday, September 25th from 10 AM to 5 PM .
